Texr, has several L mes tried TO get the

as the State from which selection could
be most judiciously made. Hon. John Ire

IRE Recorder most carr Y en-
dor3es the remarks Of the ! hro,
believing there is no better m In the
State, or one more peculiarly fitted
for the position named, than " Gov
Ireland There are severp' ong
reasons why Texan should be gwen
the place, principal among which is
that Texas, commercially, and Texas,
indi, .dually, has more to 40 with
Mexico than the people OF any othe
State. With the whole southern bor-
der of Texas lying contit ious 10
Mexico, il is an immovab reason
why the ministership TO chat adjoin-
ing Republic should be given - a CT
izen of this State Beside our CONNER
cial relations with said )unt"y, it is Il

nored by diplomats, that Ame- cans,
and Texans, especially, are not treaf d

and that alone, is sufficient - iD'' to
the appropriateness of an able and

Governor Ireland's four yea.s' occu-
pancy of the ndbrenatorial chnir, tt

be nothing materially improper or ill

pointment.-Fairfield Recorder.
The Mexican mission is of great im-
portance to Texas; the protection of
Texas is the prot ,ction of Americ'
and American interest, are not pr,

Mexican depredations. To Mexico,
Texes is America and America )
Texa. both in respect to intern
tions' commerce and % regards le
many little difficulties arising betwee n
the two countries along the border.
Experiences of the past few yeals, and
years even fal sher back in the pas
clearly demonstrate this fact, and
President Clevelsrd and Secretary
Bayard should be acquainted with the
situation and act upon 1t. Who bet
ter than q wel'-'rformed and able
Texan could represent America at the
capital of Mexico? Who is better
acquainted with the matters of COM
merce, politics and border po''cc reg
ulatjon of the two countries than
John Ireland, governor of Texas for
four years?
